BYTE presents
The Deep Freeze Option
The Deep Freeze Option is a new theatre piece devised by the
2020-ensemble and Joachim Matschoss with music by Ross Brooks.
The Deep Freeze Option is set in the future in a country not unlike
our own. Four characters are trapped in a theatre or maybe they
are beings of artificial intelligence. The theatre piece explores
today’s world in a satirical way using the world of theatre as its
medium to take the audience on a wild ride.
It is presented by BYTE (BackYardTheatreEnsemble),
an independent company that produces theatre
dedicated to devised issue-based work nationally
and internationally for many years.
Joachim Matschoss is a poet and playwright from
Melbourne/Australia. He has collaborated with
Melbourne based composer Ross Brooks on
many projects.
